Yes, Eben has appied to become a licensee and repeatedly contacted them. Apparently they have a system in place to license hardware (at time of sale), and to license a piece of software. But they say selling a license key that unlocks the hardware is not something they have done before. They are "l...

Please help, I'm having issues with my Raspberry Pi's when running Raspbian using the installer bootstrap method. When it has heavy CPU and network usage at the same time it appears to freeze for an indeterminate amount of time, maybe 1 min, maybe 12 hours and then the dmesg log get's full of stuff ...

I'd be interested in a case like that too, mine looks a bit too much like spaghetti at the moment. I'd like to see a case that powered the Pi, had 2 powered USB ports min and possibly, a USB to Sata adapter which could mount a 2.5" hdd in. I'm not worried about taking the SD card in and out as once ...

Never mind, a forum search doesn't search the comments on the blog post! Sounds like it won't. Rob Bishop on October 24, 2012 at 1:02 pm said: Just to be clear – this release opens access to existing GPU functionality as determined by the microcode that runs on it. OpenCL would require new microcode...

I know this has been asked before but now with this weeks announcement of the Open Source VideoCore driver does this make it possible for someone far more clever than me to port OpenCL over to the RaspberryPi?

I did do a forum search for OpenCL but there were no posts since the announcement.

There are at least 2 people hosting pre-built RPi images. I downloaded from Chris Swan's site. http://blog.thestateofme.com/2012/06/03/openelec-images/ Chris posts the images regularly. OpenELEC is my favourite right now for the Pi. It makes a good media centre, although it is somewhat unstable and...

That's where I got mine from but they aren't just an image file you can DD on, you need linux and have to run the create_sd script. If your on Windows and maybe OSX then your out of luck, this image can just be written to an SD card straight. Maybe there is a trick where you can dd the Kernel and th...

matt_heys

If I'm not mistaken there doesn't seem to be an Image of OpenELEC floating around, people seem to be compiling it from source, is that right? Anyway I've just got the latest daily build 2012-06-23 and created an image for my mate so I thought I would post it here for anyone who is interested, I've c...

Was a little surprised to see this on my favourite news aggregator just now.

probably the reason the forum is so slow.

<r>Add this at the top of your Index PHP page, it should be more of the level of most of the slashdot posters. $referrer = $_SERVER[\'HTTP_REFERER\']; if (preg_match(\"/slashdot.org/\",$referrer)) { header(\'Location: <URL url="http://http//www.disney.co.uk/">http://http://www.d...

@anwe79
I thought at least one of those would be what the Camera module sold by RPi would plug in to so might be fairly popular. And I think what I was trying to say previously was LVDS.

matt_heys

<t>Thats a thing of beauty, I didn\'t realise there would be connectors on those adapters on the top, not the GPIO but the other ones that look like they take one of those really thin laptop LCD panel leads, worried I may of had to do some surface mount soldering. Out of interest what is ...

matt_heys

I think it\'s more likely that if it comes in a box they may think it\'s been bought and charge import duty, if it comes in an envelope it might just be mail and they can\'t tell as easily (unless it has the shipping manifest on the outside).

I have never heard of anything different.

matt_heys

Ignore me being stupid.

<t>USB 2.0 is not Full Duplex only half duplex, which means it can only transmit or receive at once, not do both at the same time. Add a hub in to that and any USB memory sticks or keyboards, mice . . . they will all be trying to either transmit or receive in one go. If you already have t...

I was under the impression that the only special arrangement with broadcom was not so much about price but being allowed to buy 10,000 at a time instead of 1,000,000.

matt_heys

Can you write something that sits in the shutdown script or even replace halt with a program that fires something on one of the gpio pins, then use some electronics to kill the power.

matt_heys

<t>Your also paying for R&D, wages, margin, marketing plus other overheads that the RPi team won\'t have as a charity. The price of a like for like does come down over time but the Netbook you buy this year for the same price of the Netbook you bought last year won\'t be the same spec...

matt_heys

<t>I doubt they would test every board, maybe 1 in 100 or something like that. They only need to make sure that there aren\'t any issues with manufacturing, if there\'s a fault then they will might look at the rest of the line. I\'d love to know if anyone knows for sure. Also it might onl...

<t>Quote from obarthelemy on November 26, 2011, 17:31 Too few monitors have it right now for it to be interesting for a project such as Pi which values re-use of existing stuff. VGA as a much higher priority than DP. That was the point I tried to make too, it's cheaper (and more envi...

matt_heys

Our new Dells at work have them, like any new format it will take a bit of time to gain market share. HDMI is quite pervasive at the moment so people are more likely to have spare cables lying around, plus HDMI has Audio as well, i'm not 100% if DP does or not.

matt_heys

<t>yes, Eben mentions it on a couple of the youtube videos. Durability, and easier to not lose. Also you can convert microSD to full size SD easily as well, so if you have a microSD lying around from an old phone or a full sized one from an old camera you will be able to use it, in the ca...

matt_heys

<t>I think it should be fine for that. It\'s not an amazingly fast CPU however, so compiling massive amounts of C code might be a bit slow. Are you mainly planning on developing web applications on a LAMP stack with something like PHP? should be fine if you are, that is one of the reasons...

matt_heys

Wow, funky links, didn't realize you just pasted a YouTube link in and it does the rest for you.
